Crazy Engineers reports that to take part in the "dry head spa", all users need to do is adjust their head position and hairline, and the robot will then scan the outline of their head with special sensors in order to develop a 3D map.

This 3D map then guides each of the robot's 24 fingers to correctly manipulate the relevant pressure points on your head.

The robot will go on to administer the head massage, specifically calibrated for the user's head and hairline shape.

Panasonic plan to couple the "spa" robot with a massage chair, to provide a complete robotic, in-chair spa treatment.
